EarlyON Northumberland is, once again, inviting families with young children to embark on a new adventure by collecting stamps on their EarlyON Discovery Passports – to be entered for a chance to win exciting prizes.
This community challenge allows families to discover the many free play-based programs EarlyON Northumberland offers, while connecting, learning and exploring together.
With seven EarlyON Child and Family Centres across the county enjoying partner sites in local libraries, community centres and attractions, there is always something new to experience. Whether your family regularly uses EarlyOn programming or has never tried it before, this challenge offers a chance to explore the free activities and events they offer in your community.
EarlyOn families enjoy many opportunities to engage in hands-on learning and play, both indoors and outdoors, on weekdays, weekends, mornings and evenings. From the recently introduced Grandfriends program (Bringing seniors and families together) to special programs for new or expecting parents, there is something for everyone.
Interested families are invited to pick up a Discovery Passport at any EarlyON location (or print one at home by visiting Northumberland.ca/EarlyON). With each activity they complete – by visiting an EarlyON centre, attending a program or enjoying an activity – they get a stamp from their EarlyOn Educator. Families who collect five or more stamps and submit their passports to an EarlyOn Educator by Saturday, Nov. 29, will receive a small prize and be entered to win one of two $100 Indigo gift cards.
Early Years Service Manager Lesley Patterson said they are excited to bring back the Discovery Passport.
“It's a wonderful way for families to explore new programs and activities, such as the Goodrich-Loomis Conservation Area adventures and family hikes in the Northumberland County Forest,” Patterson said in the press release.
